I have a brief note to show Don's soft side.  My youngest son is named Benjamin.  So, when he knew that he was having a boy, he asked me if it was ok to name his son Benjamin (as if there would be too many in the History dept.!).  I said it was a great name.  More importantly, it showed a sensitive side of him.  He obviously was concerned about how I would feel about it.  Don was a big teddy bear and he will be missed!
